ferromagnetic thin films; digital magnetic recording technology; magnetic recording heads, including standard
and giant magneto-resistive heads; and recording media in disk drive technology.

Theory of Magnetic Recording
Theory of Magnetic Recording
This book is designed to give the student a fundamental, in-depth understanding of all the essential
features of the magnetic recording process for both high density disk and
tape recording. The book provides a thorough grounding in four basic areas
of magnetic recording: structure and fields of heads and media, the replay
process, the recording process, and medium noise analysis. Besides the
fundamental issues, key systems questions of nonlinearities, overwrite, side
track phenomena, error rate estimates as well as comparisons of MR and
inductive heads will be discussed. The student will be able to use the
information presented to design and analyze key experiments for head and
medium evaluation as well as for overall system performance decisions. A
parallel treatment of time and frequency response will enable the student to
evaluate signal processing schemes. The book is intended either for
senior-year undergraduates or first-year graduates. It assumes that the
reader has had basic introductory electrical engineering or physics courses
such as electricity and magnetism and applied mathematics.
